Maybe wait a little, you've got nothing to lose in doing so. If you give time, time he may make his feelings known to you. If he doesn't well then you haven't lost a friend by making things awkward.
This boy has been not only flirting w/ me, but body language/friends tell me he's completely into me. We have LOTS in common. If he's into me, I'm crushing back. BUT he's (unhappily) w/ a gf of 3 months. Do I back off entirely (details below)?
Sorry about the silly teen love question! We teens are kinda really oblivious to things and want some insight. Thank you
Anyway, I've known this guy since only the beginning of school, and saw him every now and then at high school summer sports camp. He's really social, so when I ended up sitting next to him in Bio, he said hi first and we started talking (I'm really the opposite, but he balanced me out with his motormouth and now I talk more in general! Yay!)
Its all typical flirting: Finding excuses to touch me (wrestling, taking my stuff, picking me up), teasing and banter, rushing to get me stuff so I don't have to get up. We have a lot in common. We're fans of the same things, similar sense of humor. He's eager to talk to me about football, even though I haven't got a clue about it.
But apparently he has a girlfriend since maybe July or August. She came to summer cross country practice once or twice, was nice and very sit-still, but I haven't seen her since. He doesn't talk about her around me, but I overheard a friend asking about hoco, and he whispered that he "honestly didn't want to go to homecoming with her anymore" and that they were fighting. At this point I feel bad for talking to him.
He's so real and has been a great friend, as he is with everyone. If he's into me, I'm totally crushing back. But I don't know if I should back off entirely. If I talk to him, he'll flirt and that's not good with the he fact that he has a girlfriend. But I don't want to lose him as a friend, it's been a long time since I've had a guy friend that I can be comfortable around.
If you can read his body language then you should be able to answer your own question here, as it takes Professionals years to read body language. With that said, put yourself in to his GFs shoes and would you like someone trying to interfere with your relationship? If he was really that unhappy, then he would break it off so somewhere youre misreading here and just be patient and see what happens but don't push it as you could be setting yourself up here and besides he may just be a Player here playing both sides to feed his macho ego. If hes truly interested in you, he will chase you down so be patient but don't wait for him. Good luck
I wouldn't get too bent out of shape for this guy .. If he has a girl friend .. Then he is in a committed relationship .. If he was "sooo unhappy" he would put an end to such a new relationship. I'm thinking he is just a player and likes the attentions of other females even if he has a girlfriend... Which you know as well as I, that's highly inappropriat. If he is flirting inappropriately with you while in a relationship with someone else .. Then that speaks volumes about his character and his ability to commit. If by chance you are considering hooking up with him and becoming his new girlfriend .. Don't be surprised if he does the same thing to you.
I wouldn't get too excited about the attention and "body language" as you put it .. it is not unusual for teenage boys jacked on hormonal influences to do that. He's a guy looking for a receptive female .. it's a classic behavior.
